From the Author:

"I originally designed a pieced rose pattern several years ago when I was still teaching quilting in adult education classes. The rose pattern became a book: The Queen's Rose Quilt. You sewed a dozen roses and than picked your quilt layout. It made a fantastic quilt. I started playing with additional flowers that could be substituted for the rose and still use the layouts. The pansy and the sunflower are the ones I liked the best. You could even use all three in one quilt. Mason's Lily is a stand apart quilt block. It will now fit in with the other three but it makes such a beautiful quilt that I included it. Do have fun gathering up your fabrics. Oh an just a thought... I taught the rose quilt at Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, PA, and one of my students made her roses quilts of all browns. Why? To celebrate chocolate and it looked great."
